In the (pro-Ukraine) article I link to, the author explains why he thinks “some on the Right” are anti-Ukraine and even pro-Russia.
We know that there are conservatives who have more sympathy with the aggressor than the victim in the present war waged by Russia on Ukraine. Some members of this Forum do.
Why? For any - or all - of the reasons given here? Or for some other reason?
I’m not a fan of Putin, and neutral toward Ukraine.
I do suspect that, whatever the grassroots sentiment of the people may have been in the uprisings, the CIA was still involved in fomenting them and manipulating the outcomes, and Zelensky was likely installed by them.
I think the only way the U.S. should be involved is diplomatically, to get them and Russia to work out an agreement and cease hostilities.
Yet our government and media are doing a quite obvious propaganda campaign in favor of our involvement in escalating the hostilities.
So I’m very skeptical of our government’s motives.
Thank you for that, Liz. I too am skeptical of the “Biden” administration’s motives.
On Friday, Steny Hoyer said in the House, 'We’re at war."
Are the Democrats, I wonder, thinking that “being at war” could be used as a pretext for clinging on to power - finding yet another way to overrule the will of the electorate, which at present is very strongly favoring the Republicans. I cannot imagine how they might do this, but the one thing they’re good at is finding ways to cheat.
I’ve been mostly ignoring the news on Ukraine, or skimming over it briefly at most, I see only bad actors involved in this conflict. Encouraging those currently “leading” the West to do anything in this conflict seems to be utterly pointless in any case, they aren’t listening to the concerned citizens who don’t like to hear about people being killed. I can’t help noticing that :
Putin moved into the Crimea while Obama was in the White House
Putin launched his further invasion not long after Biden moved into the White House, but also coincidentally just when opposition to the COVID-19 measures was gathering pace worldwide.
I’m not going to stand on a street corner waving a Ukrainian flag, because I’m convinced this is either primarily a conflict between two tyrannical power centers or else they’re all in it together and the “war” is in reality just a distraction while the globalists prepare for the next stage of the plan to introduce authoritarian global government.
I think that really we should be focusing our efforts on trying to get the tyrants ousted from power in our own nations, before they take us any further down the road to that terrifying NWO with its Orwellian disinformation departments and all the rest of it. We will never know the truth about what is really going on in the Ukraine, or anywhere else, until we do that.
Yes, I think they are using the war as a pretext (just like they do with everything else), to further their agenda behind the scenes, which would definitely include overruling the will of the electorate.
They cheated us out of our will in the last election, and there is no depth of manipulative evil they will not sink to, to do the same in the next one.
I’m sure they are also siphoning money off of it (that’s Standard Operating Procedure for our politicians!) and as Chauncey suggests, using it as a distraction while preparing the next stage of the global takeover.
